We’ll give the upgrade new try tomorrow. I’ve had some good input from admins of other instances, which are also gonna help troubleshoot during/after the upgrade.
Also there are newer RC versions with fixed issues.
Be aware that might we need to rollback again, posts posted between the upgrade and the rollback will be lost.
We see a huge rise in new user signups (duh… it’s July 1st) which also stresses the server. Let’s hope the improvements in 0.18.1 will also help with that.
GL! And while at it, a big thank you for running (and fixing occasional server oopsies) this instance. :) I started to donate for the server costs, even if 1€ is mostly symbolic
If everyone on the server donated $/€1 per month we’d be Gucci.
